What settings for X-Fi?

[ahmdamz]

Hi, for all of you who are using X-Fi soundcards what mode do you use? Entertainment or Audio creation? And Bitmatched? There are so many things and i really don't know what settings is the best. I just installed foobar + ASIO plugin. Songs sound much better. Just want to tweak the soundcard settings now

Audio Creation mode + bit-matched + foobar2000 w/ ASIO


I use game mode for games

I did exactly the same thing but my volume even at full is not loud. Im guessing because of my HD580s? Im waiting for my Go vibe 5, i'll try audio creation with bit matched again. For now im using Entertainment with 40% crystalization. With this setting music gets pretty loud.

I use Entertainment mode for playback. I started off using crystallization (50%) but now don't use any of the enhancements. They color the sound too much. Yeah, for high-impedance cans you definitely need an amp. The card's DAC is quite good (excellent in the Elite Pro). If u don't have an external DAC and/or amp, u may want to take that step.

yup, do bit match play back in the creation mode.
As for games, I just left it in the audio creation mode too lazy to change them XD
